Watch for tennis elbow this season! 🌻️🎾☀️🌞🤕

As we eagerly anticipate the arrival of spring, we're all excited to partake in outdoor activities such as sports, gardening, or do-it-yourself projects. However, we must be cautious because these activities can strain our elbows, leading to discomfort and pain. Lateral epicondylitis, commonly known as tennis elbow, is a prevalent condition that affects more individuals than golfers' elbow, and it's one of the leading causes of elbow discomfort. While up to 50% of tennis players will develop tennis elbow at some point in their careers, those who engage in jobs or hobbies that involve repetitive arm motions, such as gardening and painting, may also develop the condition. Therefore, it is essential to be aware of the symptoms and take necessary precautions to prevent this condition.

Are you experiencing symptoms of tennis elbow, as mentioned in the outlined image below? Call us today to schedule an appointment, and together, we can develop an appropriate treatment plan that suits your needs.

Lower back pain can have various causes; one frequently overlooked cause is sacroiliitis. Not many people know the link between the two, but inflammation of one or both SI joints is a common problem affecting up to 25% of people with low back pain. Your sacroiliac joints are essential for connecting your pelvis to your lower spine, providing support and stability, and absorbing impact when walking or running. Inflammation of one or two sacroiliac joints can lead to debilitating lower back pain, among other symptoms outlined in the image below.

Sacroiliitis can be challenging to diagnose as its symptoms are similar to other common lower back pain conditions. Working together with a chiropractor is crucial to receive an accurate diagnosis. Don't let the pain limit your activities anymore; act now to obtain the relief you need. Please call us today to identify the source of your discomfort and receive the appropriate treatment.

Like our phones, we cannot function at our best when we are not fully charged. Thus, taking time for rest and self-care is essential, especially when we are feeling mentally or physically exhausted. Especially in today's fast-paced world, burnout and exhaustion can easily sneak up on us if we don't recharge. This, in turn, over time, can increase your risk of detrimental health issues such as coronary heart disease, high cholesterol, Type 2 diabetes, insomnia, and depressive symptoms. So, how can you recharge? Some suggestions are outlined in the image below.

The advancements in technology have brought about a significant transformation in the way we experience our daily lives. However, it's important to note that these changes have also resulted in a decrease in our level of physical activity. Many of us spend a large portion of our day sitting, whether it's at work, during our commute, or at home. This sedentary lifestyle has led to longer periods of sitting than we've ever experienced before, which can cause serious health problems. Although it's okay to rest for a while, since our minds and bodies require time to recharge, it's essential to be mindful of prolonged periods of sitting. Please take a look at the image below for some of the negative ways that sitting for extended periods can affect our health.

Sitting all day can have negative effects on your body, including issues with your back, neck, spine, and muscles. Our team is dedicated to working with you to alleviate these issues caused by prolonged sitting and poor posture. Please schedule an appointment with us today!

Is your diet making your back pain worse? Unfortunately, consuming processed foods, sugary drinks, fast foods, and foods high in saturated fat, for example, bacon, can lead to inflammation and other health problems, including back pain. Since inflammation is a root cause of back pain, the foods we consume can either exacerbate or alleviate inflammation. But don't worry! There are plenty of delicious foods that can help fight inflammation and promote back health. Deeply-colored fruits and veggies, nuts, and omega-3-rich foods like salmon are all great choices to add to your diet.

While a healthy diet is essential for maintaining good health, it's crucial to keep in mind that there is no single diet that can cure back pain. If you're suffering from back pain, our knowledgeable chiropractors will be delighted to assist you on your journey to pain relief.

When treating an injury, applying ice or heat is a common remedy to ease the pain. However, it's crucial to understand that your type of injury determines whether you should use ice or heat. To help you decide, here's a guideline you can follow:

❄ For acute injuries that are less than six weeks old, it’s best to apply ice. This helps reduce blood flow to the area, decrease inflammation or swelling, and help relieve pain.

🔥Use heat for chronic injuries older than six weeks and do not involve swelling. This will help loosen tight joints and muscles and stimulate blood flow to the area.

↪️To ensure you're using these therapies safely and effectively, it's suggested to apply each for 20 minutes and then take a 20-minute break. In some cases, a combination of ice and heat therapy can benefit the rehabilitation process, such as osteoarthritis.

➡️It's always best to seek personalized advice and treatment from your healthcare provider. Don't hesitate to reach out if self-care measures aren't working to alleviate your pain. We're here to help you feel your best! Call us to schedule an appointment today.
